Dubai, UAE – January XX: Middle East Energy, the region’s leading energy event, is making a transformative move to drive sustainable transport in the Middle East and Africa by introducing a dedicated Battery and E-Mobility sector at the 49th edition of the show. This initiative will mark the debut of the internationally renowned Battery Show brand in the region, taking place at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from April 7–9, 2025.

Additionally, the show will also feature a first-of-its-kind three-day Battery Show Conference, setting the stage for transformative discussions, innovations, and collaborations.

The pioneering show addition further propel Middle East Energy’s already impressive growth trajectory, with the 2025 edition shaping up to be the largest in its history, occupying 16 exhibition halls and covering 37,000 sqm   – a 19 per cent show-on-show uplift.

“The addition of this new sector reflects the shows  commitment to providing a world class platform for energy innovation and positions Dubai as a key player in the global energy transition,” “It also addresses the increasing demand for energy storage solutions driven by the region's rapid adoption of clean energy, electric vehicles, and infrastructure development.” explained Mark Ring, Group Director, Energy Portfolio – MEA at Informa, which organises Middle East Energy.

“The Battery Show is renowned globally for uniting top-tier manufacturers, engineers, business leaders, and innovators. With a legacy of 14 years across Europe, North America, and India the show is now set to electrify the Middle East. It will be a regional hub for discovering groundbreaking products, fostering collaborations, and delivering powerful solutions that shape the future of energy storage and e-mobility,” added John Lewinski, Informa’s Vice President and Group Portfolio Leader in North America.

The new Battery and E-Mobility sector will serve as a vital platform for exploring the latest advancements in energy storage, electric vehicle (EV) technology, and smart mobility solutions.

It comes as the Middle East and Africa’s battery market is experiencing unprecedented growth, projected to expand by 7 per cent annually to reach a value of US$9.98 billion by 2029. Growth is being driven by government initiatives promoting electric vehicle (EV) adoption and renewable energy integration, with the UAE alone targeting EVs making up 50 per cent of the vehicles on its roads by 2050.

The drive towards EV adoption is also leading to huge infrastructure development to support charging networks and smart grid expansion and increasing demand for advanced energy storage solutions emanating from regionwide 5G network development. Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 development blueprint calls for investment in its EV infrastructure and plans to install 5,000 chargers by 2030.

Key industry figures have endorsed the expansion, evidenced by early-day exhibitor commitments from global sector leaders including Shenzhen Zetara Power, RePower Technology, Amara Raja Energy and Mobility Limited, Luminous Power Technologies, and ROYPOW Motive Power Batteries. Exhibitors will be demonstrating emerging technologies, including solid-state batteries, AI-driven manufacturing, and smart charging solutions.

The inaugural Battery Show Conference will illuminate a pathway for the region’s e-mobility ambitions. It will provide advanced insights into battery design, cutting-edge technologies, manufacturing processes, and market forecasts while exploring green mobility trends, including how electrification, investments, and policy support are driving sustainable transportation. Expert-led discussions will address the manufacturing, supply chain, and production challenges faced by battery and EV manufacturers and how AI, digitalisation, and financial planning can foster regional and global partnerships.

“This dynamic conference will bring together industry leaders, innovators, academics, and policymakers, making it the premier knowledge-sharing platform for the battery and e-mobility industries in the Middle East,” added Ring.

The new sector addition joins a comprehensive Middle East Energy conference program which also boasts the Middle East Energy Leadership Summit, Technical Seminar, Intersolar & ees Middle East Conference, Global Innovation Forum and the Africa Business Leaders Forum.

Middle East Energy 2025, which is held under the patronage of the UAE’s Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure, will feature upwards of 1,600 exhibitors from over 90 countries as well as 17 international pavilions and is expected to attract a visitor turnout of more than 40,000 energy professionals.
